Forgive Not Forget

I just wanna take away your pain, it's a mess
I just wanna see you at the top, with success
I know it's not been easy, tryna deal with regrets
My mama always told me, to forgive not forget
To forgive not forget, yeah
My mama always told me to forgive not forget, no

You been dealing with some things ain't ya
And you think that I don't know
But I know more than you could ever think
Cause I've been going through some things, on my own
I remember one time on the phone
when you told me that you feelin' like you're lonely all alone
And I told you that I love you and I'll never let you go
And you said that it's okay, cause you don't wanna live no more
We was just kids, I didn't even really know what to think
I remember feeling numb for a while, in a second whole world could've flipped

I just wanna take away your pain, it's a mess
I just wanna see you at the top, with success
I know it's not been easy, tryna deal with regrets
My mama always told me, to forgive not forget
To forgive not forget, yeah
My mama always told me to forgive not forget, no

Deep in my soul, I care for your woes
A piece of my whole
You leavin' a hole, inside of my heart
It's taking a toll
I thought you were fine, I never knew why
You wanted to go
I understood that you came from a broken home
I tried to help you but depression hit the dome
It comes from nowhere, and sometimes it sets the tone
New days will come, gotta forgive and let it go
Man I'm just here to say that you are not alone

I just wanna take away your pain, it's a mess
I just wanna see you at the top, with success
I know it's not been easy, tryna deal with regrets
My mama always told me, to forgive not forget
To forgive not forget, yeah
My mama always told me to forgive not forget, no
